11 ABSTRACT Start typing the abstract text here. The abstract should fit on one page and can be no more than 150 words. Please note this page should not be numbered, so be careful cutting and pasting. The abstract should not contain any future tense verbs.

12 1 CHAPTER 1 TITLE Typically, chapter 1 is where you introduce the problem and its background. Per the Title 5 Education Code, this is where you might clearly identify the problem, state the major assumptions, [and] explain the significance of the undertaking. Consult with your committee when crafting the introductory chapter of your thesis. It is likely that you will want to simply title chapter 1, INTRODUCTION. First-Level Heading: Include Only First-Level Headings in Your Table of Contents Return to thesis text style for the next textual block of material. Be sure to review the Headings section in the Thesis and Project Guide for further important considerations. Second-level Subheadings too Long for One Line Are Placed on Two or More Lines The template returns to thesis text style, takes the spacing back to the normal, double spacing mode. A third-level paragraph heading. For a third-level subdivision, select 3rd-level paragraph hdg from the style box. The text will continue immediately after the heading, in normal fashion. 1 1 This is the first footnote that appears in the text, formatted with first line indent, single spaced. There is a double space (24 points) to the next note. The font is 2 points smaller than the text.

13 2 CHAPTER 2 TITLES THAT ARE MORE THAN ONE LINE ARE SINGLESPACED, INVERTED PYRAMID Typically, chapter 2 is the literature review portion of your thesis. Per the Title 5 Education Code, this is where you might critically analyze the body of literature relevant to your central research question or questions. You might identify gaps in the literature and indicate how your study fills one or more of those gaps. This is where you might exhibit Title 5 s standard for originality and critical and independent thinking. This is also the place where you might best evidence Title 5 s requirement for accurate and thorough documentation. Ensure here that your sources are both current and credible. Consult with your committee when crafting the literature review chapter of your thesis. It is likely that you will want to simply title chapter 2, LITERATURE REVIEW. NOTE: In some fields the work may not be formatted in terms of distinct chapters, but, if so desired, may appear instead as a single narrative. In such instances, it is assumed that the applicable elements described below are integrated into the body of the text. The committee chair should be consulted about which elements should be included and the organization thereof before the commencement of the writing of the thesis First-Level Subheading Continue typing text here.

14 3 Second- level subheadings too Long for One Line Are Placed on Two or More Lines Begin typing here. A third-level paragraph heading. Begin typing here.

15 4 CHAPTER 3 TITLES THAT ARE MORE THAN ONE LINE ARE SINGLESPACED, INVERTED PYRAMID Typically, chapter 3 is the methodology portion of your thesis. Per the Title 5 Education Code, this is where you might identify the methods of gathering information. Perhaps you elicited responses through an original survey or you tested samples over the course of several trials in a laboratory. This is the chapter where you might craft the blueprint of the steps used in your study, providing later researchers the ability to replicate your work. Consult with your committee when crafting the methodology chapter of your thesis. It is likely that you will want to simply title chapter 3, METHODOLOGY or METHODS AND MATERIALS. Continue typing text here. Second- level subheadings too Long for One Line Are Placed on Two or More Lines Begin typing here. First-Level Subheading A third-level paragraph heading. Begin typing here.

16 5 CHAPTER 4 TITLES THAT ARE MORE THAN ONE LINE ARE SINGLESPACED, INVERTED PYRAMID Typically, chapter 4 is the results portion of your thesis. Per the Title 5 Education Code, this is where you might analyze your own data and then present your original findings. Often, this presentation is in the form of tables and/or figures. Included in this template are samples of each, along with how the text should appear before and after such renderings. Consult with your committee when crafting the results chapter of your thesis. It is likely that you will want to simply title chapter 4, RESULTS or RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Continue typing text here. First-Level Subheading Second-level subheadings too Long for One Line Are Placed on Two or More Lines Begin typing paragraph here. A third-level paragraph heading. Begin typing here. First-Level Sub-heading When presenting tables and figures, you must always reference them in the text, oftentimes through a parenthetical like this (see Table 1). Alternatively, you can reference the table or figure in a sentence like this: Table 1 shows the scales used and the standard deviations for each variable. The table or figure must follow as closely as possible after the paragraph in which it is referenced. Use the Table Title style for the title, as shown below.

17 6 Table 1 Table Titles Above Tables and Keep Them Brief, Capitalizing All Major Words Scale Introversion Extroversion Peculiarity SPG AIG TRF XYZ PDQ Continue typing after the table and run text to the bottom margin of the page. Use the style called thesis text after table or figure, which adds one line space above first line after table. The example on the next page is a figure more than one-half page in size. Therefore, it resides on a page by itself (see Figure 1). Use the Figure caption style for the caption.

18 Figure 1. Figure captions below figures, capitalizing only the first word and any proper noun or adjective; like table titles, keep figure captions brief. 7

19 8 CHAPTER 4 TITLES THAT ARE MORE THAN ONE LINE ARE SINGLESPACED, INVERTED PYRAMID Typically, chapter 5 offers a conclusion or recommendation, which is required per the Title 5 Education Code. Here, you might indicate what specifically has been derived from your research and offer future researchers recommendations for how the work might be expanded. Consult with your committee when crafting the conclusion chapter of your thesis. It is likely that you will want to simply title chapter 5, CONCLUSION. Continue typing text here. First-Level Sub-heading Second-level subheadings too Long for One Line Are Placed on Two or More Lines Begin typing paragraph here. A third-level paragraph heading. Begin typing here.
